Orange, Pepper Pike and Moreland Hills have applied for a grant to purchase a street sweeper-catch basin cleaner that they would share.
The collaborative endeavor is being called Operation Clean Sweep.
They applied for the grant from the EfficientGovNow program
According to the proposal on efficientgovnow.org, the vehicle would improve the quality of air and storm water in the three communities "at a substantial savings to the taxpayers."
Orange Village Council was expected to ratify the application Wednesday (May 13).
EfficientGovNow was created by the Fund for Our Economic Future, which promotes revenue sharing and economic growth in northeast Ohio.
In March, the FOEF invited government officials to take part in the EfficientGovNow program. It is offering up to $300,000 for up to three projects that promote collaboration among municipalities.
By the April 15 deadline, the program received 65 abstracts from partnerships across the region. Of those 65, 44 qualify for a share of the grant money.
These applicants will submit full proposals by May 31, and finalists will be announced July 1. Throughout July, residents will vote to determine which projects receive funding.
The three winners, which will receive about $100,000 each, will be announced in early August.
